I tape around 100 words per minute, and do a lot of writing. I need something that can work with an iPad II running iOS 10.3.3 or an iPhone 6 running iOS 11 .4, that can handle fast typing and be easily parable without cited assistance.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Hi Mark:
If you’re talking about BT keyboards, I’m using a Logitech K811 that has been excellent!  I’ve never required sighted help to pair it.  It is automatic.  And the keys are configured just as on a Mac.  No having to find work-arounds.
BTW:  You wrote: “I tape,” rather than I type.  So, you may want to slow down just a smidgeon, for the sake of accuracy.<smiley>
Take care!

Thanks for the recommendation, Carolyn. Yes, I should be more careful when dictating to catch errors like that.

Hey Mark:
No problem.  I’m a pain in the arse about such things because everyone has gotten so ridiculously bad about writing.  I wish someone would actually pay me to edit, with the amount of type-o’s I find, even on so-called professional media sites.
Anyhow, I also wish someone would get after Nuance, or whoever is overseeing these dictation programs.  They are simply remarkably poor at times, and I can’t imagine how they can misunderstand so many things, making even brilliant people sound like buffoons!
My most ridiculous example was when someone inquired about my previously broken ankle.  I responded “It’s actually getting better.”  The dictation app wrote: “sexually getting better!”  Seriously?  Someone had to have naughty-minded such a stupid excuse for what I actually said.
Ok, end of soapbox.  Now I hope I at least got a smile, besides having been once embarrassed by that one.
Take care.

The keyboard I use and recommend is the Logitech K480. This model takes 2 aaa batteries, but I heard there is a solar powered version.

Now, typing 100 words per minute, I hope the Bluetooth connection can keep up. I think this is why Apple came out with the Pro Ipad models with the smart connection so you can get a more reliable typing.

Carolyn, have you seen a Logitech K480? How would it compare to yours if you have seen it.

Thanks!
Daniel Hawkins

Hi Daniel:
Yes I did see the 480. I actually had one for a while. I find that I liked this other one better. I think it was my 480 that wasn’t matching up the keys properly with voiceover for some reason. I got tired of fighting with it and I can connect got me the one I currently have, which is the cake 811. It’s a USB one I mean it charges be a USB excuse me and it holds a charge for weeks and weeks. It’s actually a really amazing keyboard it also has very comfortable keys to type on. I just can’t recommend this capital leaven enough.
